Fairly new to this fire mage thing at lvl 70. Been doing pretty well, but I’m always looking to improve. Just recently acquired firestorm, and I’m wondering what the opinions are on the best places to spend points.

I have maxed fire bolt and attune, obviously, and lure is half maxed. What’s the next best thing? Cloak? Firestorm? Ice Shards? I’ve seen conflicting information and was hoping for some input. Thanks!

Fire attunement boosts the damage of both fire bolt and firestorm, so putting points in firestorm over the others would probably be the most effective (especially considering the lure). Ice Shards is a decent side option for a fire mage if you have some spare points. Cloak of Fire is a bit weak in my personal opinion. Other decent options are Energy Shield (keeps you alive a bit longer) and energy boost if you find yourself needing energy often.

What eragon said. I also have a guide on this subforum that generally walks through how a fire mage should spend their skill points as they level up.
My usual advice though is to max bolt and attune as you’ve done, then to max fire storm and split points between lure and eshield.
General rule of thumb is that unless you are facing off against a mob that looks to be obviously strong against your element (fire trolls in OW for example) or a Boss (which really isn’t relevant until you reach end game) a lure half maxed is usually perfect. (For example, if level 120-149 a maxed lure is 30/30, so a level 15 lure is all you need).
Energy boost is another skill that can be handy, and if you’re not having issues dying swapping some or all of the points from energy shield to energy boost could prove to be helpful.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the advice. I was already thinking Firestorm, due to the reasons Eragon mentioned. You confirmed it. Went ahead and alted to go with that.

Bob, I’ve read your guide. It’s extremely helpful. Thanks for all you do. Cloak wasn’t mentioned in your skills list, so I wasn’t sure of how you ranked it in importance.

I would recommend bolt storm attune and lure if you can, and any extra probably either e shield or ice shards depending on if you need to survive or want to do more damage.
